strawberry mango salad with honey lime dressing

Summer has finally arrived here in the Pacific Northwest. 

Time to turn off the ovens and have salad for dinner. 

This is a great one that celebrates the bounty of fresh summertime fruit.

Serve it next to a grilled hamburger.

Top it with leftover grilled chicken.

Stir in some pecans and sunflower seeds, or tiny chunks of firm tofu.

1 ripe mango
  • Combine dressing ingredients (first five above) in salad bowl with a whisk.
  • Add lettuce and toss.
  • Slice strawberries and mango into bite-sized pieces.
